The tradwives movement, which has recently exploded on TikTok, is composed of young women who espouse the joys of adhering to traditional family values in a patriarchal marriage. The Onion asked women why they decided to become tradwives, and this is what they said.

    ​“​I wanted to live all my internalized misogyny, not just dream about it.”

    “I believe in choosing a marital structure from an arbitrary point in human history and pretending it represents some kind of inviolable rule.”

    “I just couldn’t resist the raw sexual magnetism of an antisocial dipshit who gets all his information from podcast clips on YouTube.”

    Never change, Onion. Never change. <3
